An Afternoon Poolside...

So, I know it's been awhile... life has gotten the better part of my free time lately. I know, I know... lame excuse, but it's all I have at the moment. ;)

Anyways, awhile back (before our pool was closed for what seemed to be the whole month of July) the girls and I ventured out to the pool all by ourselves one afternoon. For some reason I was feeling exceptionally brave that day, and we ended up having a great time. Both the girls did wonderful and I think Abby is finally starting to like the water. There's no way I would have gone alone if we didn't have a kiddie pool though. There was quite a few moms there that particular day and it ending up being a great way to meet some of our neighbors, one of them even went to our church... such a small world.

Heidi's Pool...

Thank goodness for Heidi's pool. We were all going to go to the aquatic center, but when we arrived it was closed for a "special event", even though their website told a different story. Anyways, it was too late to go to the lake, so it was Heidi's pool to the rescue. Lizzie's still really funny when it comes to the water. She's very excited at first and you can't get her out of the pool, than all of the sudden she wants out and just wants to play around the pool. Ben managed to get her back in somehow on the little floaty thing, but it was pretty short lived. I'm sure one of these days pretty soon we'll never be able to get her out no matter how hard we try. ;)

The Aquatic Center Again...

Here we are at the aquatic center again... we can't seem to get enough of this place lately. And this time Ben came with us, since we normally go during the middle of the week while daddy's at work. Lizzie seemed to be a little more adventurous with daddy near by and actually got out there and played with all the other kids.

The Aquatic Center...

Our very first trip to the aquatic center here in town. The place is really cool, pretty inexpensive and a lot of fun. A great place to go when it gets 100 degrees or above (everyone else seems to thinks so too). They have a whole separate little kiddie area for Lizzie to play in... when she gets brave enough that is. For some reason she hates being sprayed with water, whether it's by one of the many sprinklers or the millions of kids, either way she starts screaming... poor girl.

A Lazy Sunday Afternoon...

Ah... fun times on our tiny little deck wasting away a beautiful, sunny Sunday afternoon. Too bad we all can't fit it the tiny, plastic swimming pool. ;)

Lizzie's Playdate...

I so wish we had a yard of some sort, I don't care I'm not picky, I'll take anything! Well, until then Lizzie and I will just have to go use random areas of grass filled with fun and adventure. Ok, so maybe not random yards at least there's some people in California we know who have houses. ;) Here's some pictures of our playdate over at Melanie's house enjoying her grassy, glorious yard at the end of a dead end street. Oh, one of these day we might have one (a yard that is... and maybe a house too)!
